The Butler - Review

With a staggering number of stars in this film, you have no idea if your in for a good or bad film based on previous films in the past with a large number of famed actors.  This film had the absolute best cast put together and each actor did a superb job in this film.  The intensity of the acting especially from Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker, the main stars was incredible, their performances could be in Oscar considerations, it's never to early to start thinking about that.  The story itself was based on a true story of a famed butler of the White House for 34 years and was just a remarkable tale.  It was one that shows true courage in overcoming adversity and dealing with many hardships in life.  I can honestly say this story was great and is one of the best films I have seen all year.  It can also be nominated for Best Picture as well.  I even teared up during some of the movie as it really is a touching and moving film.   I didn't have one negative thing to say about this movie.  "The Butler" is one must-see film and it is a nice ride through US History and seeing the portrayals of many different Presidents as well. For the first time this year, a film has received a five out of five recognition from me.  Congrats to Lee Daniels and his production, Cheers!

Rating - 5/5
